End Launch and Vertical Launch Connectors

HASCO Expands its Line of Southwest Microwave 

End & Vertical Launch Connectors 

As one of Southwest Microwave’s primary distributors, we are pleased to offer their expanded line of high-performance End & Vertical Launch connectors, featuring a solderless, clamp-on concept; designed to provide the lowest VSWR and mode-free wide responses up to 110 GHz for single and multilayer microstrip.

End Launch Connectors 

End launch connectors feature a unique two-piece bottom clamp to accommodate any board thickness up to 300 mils for effective grounding between the connector and the circuit board. The connector pin is designed with an interference fit to the circuit board trace eliminating the need for soldering. Combining the bottom clamp with the solderless pin offers ease of removal and reusability.

Available End Launch Configurations:

• SMA (DC-27 GHz)

• 2.92mm (DC-40 GHz)

• 2.40mm (DC-50 GHz)

• 1.85mm (DC-65 GHz) 

• 1.0mm (DC-110 GHz)

• Test Boards (27 GHz to 110 GHz)
